10. Are you a viner?

[PirateRo]

51. I thought vines ended back in the day?

I remember vines, some were funny. I thought everyone moved on after the site died. Sadly, its a bit like cooking. I like cooking but I much prefer eating

[Soph0571]

52. A different vine

newsvine. Never mind...

It's always about HIM.

You have given a gift today. It will remind us of what is possible and even in grief to believe, "yes, we can" because John Lewis has graced our country with this life.

22. I posted the photograph of this on Facebook today

and would paste it here, but that is proving difficult.

Thank you for posting this. I read the transcript but am so glad I saw the speech. Of course, I should’ve known that a couple of tissues would be in order.

[crickets]

38. Two great men!

John Lewis -

Barack Obama -

[gademocrat7]

40. So very beautiful.

[LymphocyteLover]

41. Obama's speech was so wonderful and powerful.

He's the best.

also I watched GW Bush's speech-- not bad. He was funny and decent.

[CTyankee]

47. Ya know, I used to think W was the worst thing that ever happened to us...

this restores my faith that even W can have some redeeming qualities. I salute him and thank him for coming.

[Upthevibe]

44. I've watched this entire speech three times today....

As dark as times seem now, somehow, President Barack Obama ALWAYS gives me hope....

[MerryBlooms]

45. Pure love.
